Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and truant officers.
One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows-a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

I am reading this right now and it is so intense like all the other books Rick Riordan has written. I love his writing. i am almost done with this book

My friend reads these books. But I find them boaring.

I like the author Rick Riordan but i wasn't excited when it was announced thought. i like his other books a lot but this one until now i wasn't so thrilled. bring the characters from the other books i like it so much that would be amazing. can't wait congratulations Riordan on another amazing book.

cant wait

how can i read the whole book

OHMYGODS!!!!!! YASYASYAS!!!!! I saw it in the store and my brother had to literally drag me away

I am super excited for this book to come out!!!!! Can't wait to read it!!!!

OMG this book looks amazing!!! To be honest, I wasn't that excited when Rick Riordan first announced the book. I could care less even. Then I read the first chapter, and my perspective on the book TOTALLY changed. I started thinking, What if Annabeth isn't the only one out of the main seven that comes back? Like, what if Percy came back? LEO even?? Anyway, all I'm trying to say is, I'm SUPER excited. Congratulations on making another indescribably amazing novel Rick Riordan!!

The book is an amazing book so far. Do you know what I think is that Rick is intertwining his books because some of the other characters are from the Percy Jackson series

congratulations on editors pick
